What the World Needs Now… is an online youth theatre project for children in school years 3-6 who are new or existing members of MFYT’s Stage 2 and Ovingham Middle School Groups. The project provides young people with a safe and creative space to share their thoughts, feelings and ideas, as well as an opportunity to connect with their friends.

Over the course of 11 weeks, our practitioners have been gathering content from our members through weekly online youth theatre workshops and creative at-home video tutorial tasks. 

Using this content, they have created ​ ‘a gift to the world’ in the form of a good news report. The video will be ready for anybody to watch from Friday 10th July - so watch this space!

While we wait for our gift to be all wrapped up and ready, here's a sneak peak of a few things our young people have been making and doing as part of the project. There's loads more we could show you, but we don't want to spoilt the video when it's ready so you'll just have to be patient!

We created our own characters using nothing but recycled materials and gave them all really fun back stories...

We gave our members the task of creating a video diary of what a fun day in lockdown looked like for them...
